@@iagoduarte2365 I'M SO SO SORRY!!!
I'M SO SORRY! I promise I'll upload tomorrow. I just finished and took off all my makeup or I would have done it tonight ahhh
@@mendwithmere Don't be sorry, it's ok, you'll drop that when you can. What a powerfull analysis, amazing as always🥰
@@mendwithmere girl I loved this keep making videos btw you should absolutely analyze her song off to the races your jaw will drop like fr fr and you will be w it sounds so good
I love the symbolism of the tire swing not really being tethered to anything, representing freedom for sure
LITERALLY THIS
When Lana says that she was born to be the other woman, I think she means that everybody touches her, but nobody wants her.
Like the first slice of bread.
That's my experience at least, and what I take from it.
i agree, i also think it means that in most relationships she wasn’t the priority to the man, substance abuse was. in her song velvet crowbar she talks about this, drugs and alcohol are more important to her lover than she is.
@@unabombertamponyup pwyc too
It’s documented that Lana also worked in Native American communities building houses and things BEFORE she was famous. I’ve read that the headdress was her trying to show appreciation to the culture, so I think her intentions were innocent, but unfortunately she didn't go about this in the right way, then realised this when she received criticism and subsequently rightly gave her apology and made those reparations.
When she was accused of 'cultural appropriation', I think her reply (at the the time) was "more like cultural appreciation." My first reaction upon seeing the headdress was "What in the world was she thinking?!?!'. Best case scenario: the optics are REALLY bad. Sometimes I wonder if she has/had anybody to run things by before going public with them. A good PR person.
I think it kind of makes it worse in some ways that she had so little understanding of the importance of the headdress even though she worked with Native American communities. Surely she would have learned the basic forms of respect...
On the flip side - I think a lot of us could be easily accused of ignorance. I sure have come a long way. It's important to put your hand up and admit that you're wrong. I would probably be so mortified though that I would have liked to change those parts of the video where I'm wearing a headdress...
@@fikitoification she has stated that it was a gift given to her by the native americans she worked with
imagine how much free time and hunger for fame one needs to have to go after Lana with "cultural appreciation" comments. These Native American communities don't have a single clue about this video or about these made-up concepts
@nastyhaterz We know about Lana del Rey
Lana once told GQ “I was a big drinker [in my early teens]. I would drink every day. I would drink alone. I thought the whole concept was so fucking cool. A great deal of what I wrote on Born To Die is about these wilderness years. […] At first it’s fine and you think you have a dark side - it’s exciting - and then you realize the dark side wins every time if you decide to indulge in it. It’s also a completely different way of living when you know that… a different species of person. It was the worst thing that ever happened to me.”
I think this adds a lot of important context to her earlier works, such as Ride, so I wanted to share :)
do you know which interview it is?
It's good to know that the fact that Lana talks about topics as difficult as those in this song does not mean that she supports them; sadly she has experienced them and gone through a lot of hard times, and her way of expressing that trauma is through her music. "she's just telling her story"
I feel the same way about the Older men being with Lana, however, I feel like she created Art and speaks an experience that other women may not ever talk about. I love this masterpiece!
I feel when she says “I was born to be the other woman”, it comes from a self depricating place, like she thinks she will never be good enough to be “the one”. Similar to A&W. Maybe… Also, my theory is that the men for this video were cast and styled intentionally to represent how she will be with literally *anyone*, not to be alone.
Hopefully the Headress scenario gives more context to the “regrettably also a white woman” line in grandfather, with about 10 extra years of hindsight she is genuinely regretful of how her privelage has clouded her perspective !
I completely disagree lol. I am positive she meant that sarcastically.
I APPRECIATE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH AND ALL OF YOUR REACTIONS 🥹
Also your hair is gorgeous
yess my goodness the hair is amazing🔥
Isn't it amazing watching Lana's old videos and hearing her lyrics then vs. now? The growth. She has come so far. From a woman who would intentionally "degrade" or break herself down for a man's attention vs. Kintsugi - turning all that pain into something beautiful. She's an amazing poet and artist.
“For those of you wondering, I am happy, and I feel like that’s the ultimate goal, so I did it” 🥹 so proud of how far she’s come, especially as a long time listener. I found her music in middle school when I was very depressed and had lots of codependent and other self destructive tendencies. I could relate deeply to the themes of her music. Around the time she released NFR, I was in high school and going through a lot of changes- maturing a lot. Now I’m in college, and it really feels like I’ve grown alongside her with this music. Not to be parasocial, it’s just amazing how we can grow up with these artists and see their growth in that passage of time as well. Like Lana, I feel like I can finally say that I am happy :)
❤❤
I’m not for worshipping celebrities but she actually is a great person, too
young lana definitely had to go through very difficult times and i don’t think she should be judged for it i mean everyone is capable of change and to change you have to go through a process of transformation which may also include dark periods and things. i think lana’s music really shows her pursuit of happiness, her change of perspective on what is real freedom and trying to let go of what was actually keeping her restrained and sad
anyways i think you should react to get free which shows her realisation of a different kind of freedom, a brighter and pure freedom, maybe the one she deserves
You're the best part of the day...after my cats giving me love
Definitely seeing her wearing that Native headdress did not age well! But as you mentioned, it’s good she later took responsibility and acceptance for that.
and now that you’ve reacted to just one of her music videos, WE’RE GONNA NEED YOU TO GO BACK AND DO ALL OF THEM!!! (please and thank you, sorry, not trying to be shouty OH AND HER ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY TOO PLEASE AND THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE) :P
So you think the donations have something to do with that?
@@Dave-vb4nd that's what i find weird too. Ride was 2012, and she released the poetry book before NFR in 2019 iirc, and she didn't mention this controversy as a reason for the donations. her IG post was just like "btw i'm donating this amount from the book to native american resources"
I love your reaction to the headdress. I love that you are able to be critical of an artist that you love and you're not afraid of the backlash from her fans. I really enjoyed your videos but you have earned so much of my respect because of this. You are wonderful.
I recently felt identified with the line "I was born to be the other woman, who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone", and I interpret this differently.
I'll share my experience as a reference for my interpretation. I don't get involved with men who are taken, at least I haven't done it being aware of it. But every time I get involved with someone, it seems like I'm a girl men only want to have a good time with. Also like a girl men I get involved with, are never fully convinced of wanting to be with. In the past I used to have a lot of lovers "trying to find safety in other people", but they always ended up losing interest, they never chose me. And while I wanted to think I was choosing men who were afraid of commitment, this thought wasn't feasible once I realized they were capable of choosing someone. They would always either go back to their ex, end up with a close female friend they had already while I was with them, or go on to meet someone new. All women who these men were so convinced of wanting to be with, that they would commit and looked so happy with them.
So I feel like I was born to be the other woman, but not like the woman they cheat on with, instead, like the woman that's the 2nd option, like the woman they hang around with until they find the one. And the fact that this happened with lots of guys, makes me feel like I've also belonged to everyone. Yet, I'm not the one for anyone, so I belong to no one.
Has anybody else interpreted this line this way?
I get it,I understand~
Thank you so much~❤❤❤
I think that's what she meant too, like she's always the second choice
Yes, me too, thanks for sharing. I can definitely relate to you.. I'm fun to get drunk with and pass time with,
but not to be taken out on a proper date..
I relate to this the same way. Someone else is always choosen over me. I am always an entertainment or an option, not their main person. I love this line. And also her song "Sad girl" gives those vibes.
Im Brazilian, and i dont know almost anything about native americans. Glad about your reaction bc that was weird to me too, since in Brazil we had a lot of natives that has their own simbolism and culture. She was here last week, and visited some of them in Amazon, she was trully respectful and they really loved her, and her respect, and her family. Lana had bad choices in the past, about her songs and about her videos, but she grown, i can see it.
Amoo que tem brasileiro em tudo que é canto
Hi Brazil, over here the woke left like to reinvent history and pretend native Americans were all just peace loving people except for the fact that they weren’t! Like any group of people there were peaceful tribe and violent tribes and they were always at war with each other and killing and enslaving each other. This woman probably thinks the white European showed up in America and just ruined this great peaceful society the native Americans had but it just isn’t true. We are and were founded on Christian principals but these days Christians and white straight males are the only things you can make fun of without being lectured to!!!
@@dudao6843 née kakakakak
@@dudao6843tem sim kkkk
Maybe because I live in Latin America, but i have never fully got the cultural appropriation idea or the disrespect on wearing or taking about something that's not from you culture. I mean, when someone wears a traditional clothing from my country we just cherrish it, even though the person may not have the same nationality. But we are happy to see they understand and like our traditions. -I'm not saying what Lana did was right because i didn't know the meaning on those feather's. Just saying that the way this kind of things are taken is pretty different depending on the country
Thank you for saying this @Sol Badano. I travel a lot for work and most countries are like that and for the most part, the people there enjoy it when they see foreign people enjoying and participating in their culture. For example, the last time I was in Japan I was gifted with traditional Shingon Buddhist pilgrimage clothing by my host before we visited some of the 88 shrines in Tokushima. Everyone who saw me was very respectful and appreciative that I was participating in something so uniquely cultural. I'm Caucasian and non-Buddhist, btw, not that it matters, but I have found that it is mostly US citizens that are so extremely concerned about the appropriation of other cultures, not realizing that every culture has borrowed from other cultures for their own benefit.
This is how it should be. But everyone just loves getting upset and feeling like they’re fighting for something these days
My mother was native American and Venezuelan. But I'm a "white woman".
Because my mother was the ethnicity she was, it did not make her life harder. Mental illness and being put in an orphanage at 4 yrs old and being sexually molested as a child did. My life was deeply impacted by my mother's early life but still none of it was due to her heritage. Idk I just wish things could be expressed the way the artist wants to express them without people being offended for others.
If your point is that there should be no problem with lana wearing the headpiece, I think you're pretty wrong...if the headpiece was just sth for beauty and aesthetics in the culture then sure, but as a middle eastern, I would be definitely offended if sb uses some outfit we use for special ceremonies or sth that has a lot of important history to it while not knowing its history and just using it for the aesthetics.
But still I'm quite not sure if I'm understanding your point correctly here.
@@nimmysa2972 as a middle eastern myself, if lana used pieces of middle eastern traditional clothing in one of her music videos id be the proudest happiest person alive. culture is meant to be shared and celebrated, i see absolutely nothing wrong with what she did in the music video.
@@ummmchileanywaysso2308 I'd be happy too if she uses some random traditional clothing or decoration and not anything important... But as the therapist lady mentioned too the headpiece is apparently sth important in native American culture and it's used very cautiously, it's not like some traditional clothing that most ppl in the south of my country wear all the time you know?
@@nimmysa2972 the headdress was gifted to her by a native american community she used to donate to/do charity work. she has spent a lot of time with native american communities so i doubt she doesn’t know the meaning behind it. and she said wearing it in the music video would be a nice way of paying homage to the tribe, so thats why she did it.
Thanks for taking the time to go back to the official video. I knew it would be hard for you to watch but it fills in Lana's backstory so well and makes other songs in her catalog easier to understand . I don't have experience with cheating and divorce so it was good for me to hear your perspective and will add to my understanding of the song on future listens. Thanks for the reaction. :)
Agree and as hard as it to watch, it's her life experience. She expresses this in her music. I feel compassion for her, she may have some sort of disorder but she places this in music.
I'm on minute 9 but I'll stop watching, I'll go watch the reaction of the song without the video, the first one you made about Ride. Because I feel like it's such a meaningful song and I'm sure you did a fair job with the song itself. But I feel like you disapprove of what she says in the monologue, and being purely subjective, I can't see it, because I've loved this monologue since it came out. Also, if I said something like this to a therapist, I wouldn't like them to think I'm glorifying bad and sad things and to disapprove of me. I'd like them to help me see I'm sharing my story for them to help me figure out where this comes from, and how to change for the better.
Even though there's some story telling in it, with the prostitute hints in the video, this is a monologue that some women can really relate to without having had a prostitute/being the woman men cheat with, experience. Maybe you are right about how it gives the vibes of being the story of someone with BPD. I'm diagnosed with BPD and feel so identified with this. Relying on your romantic partners, being co-dependent, remembering (maybe wrongly) that your best times happened with them, feeling like you are their 2nd option. But being so passionate about life, that you never give up, you keep on riding, you are alone at midnight, when everyone disappears, but you try to keep yourself sane, with every bit of your being. When you only want to be free, maybe become free of these dependencies, maybe become free of your dark side. Maybe become free of the emotional dysregulation which makes you have a "chameleon soul" and "have a war in the mind".
Pls do Carmen mi begging ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
now we need a reaction on her audio book "Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass" ! every reaction of yours speaks my mind
Yes! Salamander cuts me up man
You gagging at the men in the video is so me 😭 i hated it so much
thank you for the reaction!! you're amazing 🩷🫶🏻
I think the head dress has to do with Lana’s love for America but I do agree it was disrespectful for it to be used in that setting
The gag has me dying.💀Your facial expressions are so accurate 💀😭😭❤️
I agree with your reaction. You missed the closing monologue. I am Lana’s biggest fan, but her wearing the Native American headdress makes me uncomfortable. There is a line in the closing monologue that makes me uncomfortable as well-“I believe in the country that America used to be.” For who, lady? Overall, I love the video and artistry. When art makes you think, it’s a good thing. Everybody who reacted said it was about prostitution. I don’t believe that. Great job!
what it really says is " I bilieve in the country america is to be" , it's common to make this mistake when you hear!
The ''I believe in the country America used to be" is kinda meant to be just on the nostalgia that comes with the idealistic version of the past, or the way she saw America as a child, she has said that this line was very poorly executed. And the native headdress seems to me like it was intended to be a representation of freedom but didn't go over well, but unless we are native ourselves though we have no right to have thoughts and feelings for actual native Americans, we shouldn't put words in their mouths
She’s not talking about the time before America was a country. It wasn’t called America then.
The headdress 😭😭 we fought for our lives
This music video is gorgeous. One of my favs…. I know Lana has a thing for older men… but I view this has a mini movie that is beautifully made & written. I don’t think any of it relates to Lana other than an elaboration on the fact of who she chooses to be attracted to
Ride is my favorite Lana song. Theres something about it that just resonates with me. "I've got a war on my mind" is such a beautiful lyric and one that has always stuck out to me. This is one of my comfort songs that i dont think anyone near me can truly grasp why it listen to it so much.
Thaks from Brazil, i love your videos.
would love a gods and monsters reaction from you. one of lanas darkest songs.
love your videos, hope you’re ok 🫶
Please listen to Pawn Shop Blues. It's her most beautiful song IMO
i agree with you, it's definitely giving bpd. i mean, the diagnosis itself is a little irrelevant as it's her own private business, but i can relate to the kind of experiences she's describing which is why i immediately recognize it. i probably would have been diagnosed with bpd if i went to a "normal" therapist instead of a jungian one. it's not surprising to me AT ALL, because the little we do know about her experiences with her mother are so close to my own. i studied psychology and we learned a lot about how such abuse can trigger the development of bpd-style behaviours/cognitions/schemas which affect your self-concept and especially your relationships with men. that's probably why i see so much of myself in her music. and i think her growth has been so BEAUTIFUL throughout the years. wildflower wildfire is really a testament to how hard she is working to overcome those behavioural patterns that run in the family. the lyric about burning is also something that reminds me of bpd-style struggles. the pure RAGE you feel towards people and towards the world... and especially the instinct to react with rage towards your partner when you feel abandoned. she makes the promise to her partner and to herself to not become that person, to not be the way her mother raged at her. that's a promise i made to myself when i first began my long-term relationship with my boyfriend...and as i get closer and closer to becoming a mother, it's a promise i make to myself in regards to my (future) children as well.
Love it too much, and waiting for the 2nd part!!
2 things: first, I think this is just the reaction Lana wanted with this video. Doing the night, you don't get always good looking men, so... That's the reality, that's how it is. It's a video to twist things inside us.
Second, the headress was a gift she received, she was living in a native reservation for a while, and thought it was a way to show gratitude to them. Also, she was alway so dedicate to natives, helping with erevything she could, she even donated all the benefits from her poetry book to the Navajo reservation. ❤️
Please please it'd be awesome if you could react to her Tropico video next! I can say it's even better then Ride video, it's a master piece.
Thanks for your videos! ❤❤
The headress was a gift from a navajo friend of hers. As a native american i do not se an issue as if i gift you something its for you to use it
The monologs and so many of the lyrics
I had a friend who this song would fit to a fucking tee
God rest her beautiful soul
It'll be 5 years this September
I still miss her every single day
Thank you, and thank you Mere for making Lana part of your experience, I'd love to recommend you to react to a whole album to analyze more deeply, for example Lust for Life! love you!
All other artists using religious simbols from Christianity in the most profane possible way: ... nobody
Lana using a headdress: 😱🤬☠️
Thats exactly what I was thinking!
I feel like I can't make any more comments about this song and video because I love it but it hurts me a lot. When you mentioned BPD I broke into tears because that's what I struggle with. I wish you were my therapist
Love your videos ❤
I love your comments (I think I've seen a few on other channels, as well)🥰
@@myopia2020 oh, thanks 🥰💖
Треш. Начать срачку за этот головной убор? Вы все в с воем уме? Это просто образ, символизм... какие вы зашоренные. Да если и в России кто-то оденется как царская семья, которую расстреляли вместе с детьми никто не будет стонать и возмущаться. Ужас, как вы живете если вас все так оскорбляет
So much judgement here
I think its complex for me. I was recently cheated on and the images in the video were some things I imagined they did together and it made me feel sick. Also, I myself have put myself in some unhealthy situations when I was younger that I was remembering. I’m sorry.
Love your videos! Lana has a song called the other woman on Ultraviolence. I wonder how you would feel about that one
it's a cover, though... nina simone made it a classic in the late 1950's, and sara vaughan did it first! love lana's bringing its timelessness into the uv era, of course 💘🎶
it’s a cover
Thanks. I will have to check out the original
Your reactions are so interesting. I love watching reaction videos, but people usually hear Lana's lyrics and go "Oh, how sad..." and move on. I understand it, of course, because I did the same thing the first time I discovered her. But your analysis are so deep and interesting, almost as if I was discovering a whole new artist thanks to you.
I do believe Lana has said that she regrets a lot of lyrics she's written and, if I'm not mistaken, Lana is a character. She has been through stuff, of course, but her music videos and lyrics, especially from this era of her career, should be taken with a grain of salt IMO. She was baptized since her first album as the cursed beauty and as the character of the sensual woman that was used for her body, but nobody was interested enough to know her soul, so I think she wrote lyrics to feed that "fame", but that is not always related to her real experiences. She literally has a song titled "F*cked my way up to the top", so I assume she tried to portray that character of the woman who used her body to crawl to the top, sacrificing her soul and mental health, instead of these songs being her real-life experiences.
Of course, I don't know her personally so I can't say if that's the case for sure, but that's what I've picked from interviews and more current songs of her.
Great video! :)
She herself has said her music is about her, and it isn't a persona or character. Also, she has done a lot of material as a tongue in cheek way of addressing narratives around her. As you mentioned F'my way up to the top, and another example is sad girl.
Not at all!!! She said many times that all the lyrics are autobiografical. She also explains Ride video in a interview, and confirm it's about her and her life. I can you the link if you want to check it out! There's also interviews where she talks about other songs and videos, as Born to die, Yosemite, West Coast, This is what makes us girls, the story of Born to die album...
I disagree, she's not a character at all. She have said that video and basically all her music is about her and her story. And people say she "romanticize" being with older men, do drugs or drink alcohol, even being depressive but no, she's just telling us her story and that's it. It depends on you how you wanna take it.
@@lorenavasques8657 oh please link me up haha
I dont know if its just me but i felt that was kinda rude and judgy, the way you reacted when she was with older men, its ok if you dont like it but it's HER story, shes not telling you to be with older men or anything but just telling her story and opening up to all of us. Those older men were the ones that kept her alive for a long time when she was feeling lost. We're all going there, to be older men/women. This video its 100% about her life and what she have lived.
And she is allowed to have a reaction to a video she’s never seen. Sorry you’re insulted.
this channel and your reaction used to be fun , but recently I only see you arejudging her , and mixing your point of view of your marrige into this .
I’m sorry, things are heightened for me right now so maybe I am bringing it into this too much but I am coming from my point of view. I really love Lana tho
@@mendwithmere girl don’t apologize you’re fine we know you’re not judging her, this was an outta pocket comment you’re doing fine, i love your videos then and now🫶
@@mendwithmere i think the ‘other woman’ thing was misunderstood. in another comment i mentioned that she’s written songs about substance abuse in relationships, how the substances are more of a priority to the man lana is with that she is to him. she’s covered ‘the other woman’ on ultraviolence, but i mainly think it’s for her love of nina simone. but in ‘sad girl’ she talks about being a mistress. i’m not sure if lana is storytelling or talking from experience. like you said, it’s up for our interpretation. i love these videos and i cannot wait for more!!
i like your videos, but your extreme leftist ideologies are a bit annoying.
Yesssssssss thank youuuu 🫶🏼, hope you upload the ending part
I promise!!!
I absolutely love your interpretation and take on this. There are so many layers to Lana and her music and it’s so easy to be pulled into her stories. She sings about her truth which I respect and admire, and your openness and willingness to approach her music with an open mind is amazing. Your compassion is a gift, carry it with you always.
Its art, poetry, cinema, music, LDR is a genius at creating beautiful moods full of dark and light and hats off to the director.
these lana reactions are seriously my favorite things ever THANK YOU
Love your videos ..please White Mustang, Blue Jeans , Young And Beautiful and Cherry. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for the reaction
I hope you see a good therapist yourself, you need it
trust me you can’t be a license therapist if your going through your own shit…
I haven’t heard this song before but “born to be the other woman” hit me so gd hard. I have literally said these words recently (not word for word but the same concept) but more as a I have never been the one they want to “bring home to mom”, and less about being with a married man because that’s not my story. But being seen as belonging to nobody but wanted by many is a real thought or emotion that I struggle feeling about myself.
Hi Mere i'm incredibly amazed by your honesty it takes a lot of courage and confidence to be open enough to mention what the other woman meant to you ... I subscribed to your channel because you're so raw and authentic i felt like you had a pure honest reaction to all that
i just wanna thank you for bringing up the native american headdress. i'm from the other side of the world so sometimes the "cultural appropriation" talk just gives me the ick (plus i simply don't know that much about those cultures), but you really put it in perspective and made me understand the significance of that piece.
and when you post the ending reaction my life will be fulfilled
this music video made me CRY- she is so amazing…
As a Native American woman i was very happy to see you point out the problem with her wearing headdress, thank you
Best reaction channel out there, frfr 🫶🏽
As a guy with BPD, I have never felt as understood as when I listen to Lana. We have the same narcissistic mother wound. It's funnt that you mention it.
Your voice in every video is so low that I always have to put the volume up and then when the music part comes up it’s like a jumpscare to me and it’s raping my ears😭😭
it would be amazing you hear gods and monsters, very heavy
Love your reactions
she wore the headress to represent her freedom and bravery and she said "im tired of feeling like im fucking crazy" bc thats genuinely how she feels
Loved this video! I just want to warn you that some of Lana’s fans can be quite aggressive if you don’t happen to share the same opinion as them, so just be aware of that going forward. I hope you keep doing these videos and that you continue to share your true honest opinions. I wanted to let you know that not all of us think the way that I have seen some of the unfortunately negative comments on this video. I think people forget that you’re a person too and don’t exist purely for our entertainment. Anyway, all I wanted to say was that I really think you’re doing a great job with all of your interpretations, and please don’t let the rude people get to you
Rewatching every single one of your Lana reactions just to say that you are amazing and I love you
theres a song in her new album that mentions being a white women and all of her past moments where ppl didnt understand her
Please I reacted like that too when I first saw her around those old men like “why Lana you deserve better” 😭 loved the reaction thank you! 🤍
WEST COAST MUSIC VIDEO REACTION!! I LOVE UUUU❤❤❤
My favourite music video of all time and the official soundtrack of my life 🥹
i want you for my therapist
She also shouldn't be smoking next to those gas pumps...
Anyone this because I haven't really known how to go about it but whenever I look at you, not only do I see tremendous beauty because I see the inside and what you're all about and that makes you are more beautiful person but I also see a woman who sounds and looks like a woman, like a grown woman. I'm 38 years old and I feel like I'm a little girl. I have a son who's about to be 7 years old but I was in the process of coming off drugs using methadone and got pregnant with my husband and never thought about the state of my mind and having a child. Honestly didn't really even know if I could get pregnant anyway, once I was into my pregnancy, I was not even doing drugs every now and then anymore. It was strictly methadone from a methadone clinic and that was it and I feel like maybe there's a lot of things I haven't dealt with and maybe that's why I feel that way? I feel like when I was supposed to be growing up and adulting, I was instead, in active addiction. I don't really or anyting, I just wanted to see what you think about that and I kind of wanted to see if anybody else felt like that? I don't know if it's like the day and age were in or if this is just more specific to me because of what I went through even though it was because of my own choices, crappy stuff still happened lol, to say the least. I love watching u! Ur so empathetic, kind, thoughtful & sweet. Any guy would be so lucky to have u & I mean that 100% ❤
Wow, thank you for sharing this! I’ve learned that emotional intelligence can be stunted to the age that active addiction started. This doesn’t mean when you first experimented, it means when it was daily and severe. That is probably why you feel that way, for sure. At the same time, it doesn’t mean you are stuck at the age. I can tell just by your comment that you are really thinking and processing what has happened to you and why you feel this way. You likely had addiction issues bc of intense pain that drugs gave you relief from. Also, it’s important that you are kind to yourself bc everyone has their struggles and sharing them and being vulnerable is so important. I have so much more to say about this and I will in the morning but I hope people share their feelings.❤
Your reactions and your perspectives on Taylor's and Lana's work are all so beautiful. Really love watching them. I feel so understood and seen when I see you put the artistry of these queens in words. Thanks so much ❤️
This music video reminds me of the movie Poison Ivy with Drew Barrymore.
Note how when she's in the hotel room with the red bow there are 2 single beds, like they've checked in as father and daughter, plus he's combing her hair.
This is the type of judgement from 'feminists' that Lana talked about, even from a therapist. If you don't fall inline with the agenda then you'd criticised from other women who 'support eachother'.
Definitely watch Lanas 'Tropico', it has the same vibes as this 💖
Yes
LDR is a writer and writes about things she sees or her perceptions of what she might imagine why a person chosea specific life styles . We might, judge, a girl, a woman, a man who run off on a motorcycle, but do we really know what they were going through in their life. She is a storyteller. If you understood or listen to many many of her songs, their stories, Venice bitch, Brooklyn Baby, shades of blue, Florida Kilos, this is not Lana’s life. Carmen, National Anthem, Norman fucking Rockwell was all about aspects of American culture, mariners apartment complexThese are her observations on various subcultures around the United States. She recently spent time in the south working and diners to experience that piece of subculture in the United States and those people live and do every day. She’s very clear about the fact she grew up with a little bit of privilege and went to law school. Writers do this all the time, Tennessee Williams, Ernest Hemingway, Barbara, King solver, they tell stories about the lives of peoples and how they live in response to very specific things they have been dealt in life
We need Florence And The Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful album REACTION
I am so impressed about your knowledge about Native/Indigenous cultures! I am half Indigenous and half Irish. What you said is all true. Very grateful for you to share what you know Meredith❤ I love lana and all her songs..but that music video leaves bad taste in my mouth.
QUEEN i love ur videos and i didn’t expect this one so soon!! thank you for the amazing content as always🙏🙏
You should cover the blackest day by her next it’s a really wordy break up song covering the 5 stages of grief really epic gut wrenching song
Lana is a writer and story teller. Take it for what it’s worth in that artistic medium. And ametican sun cultural observations She has a close family. Highly intelligent and sensitive. A once high school partier. Shes not running off to join a motor cycle gang anytime soon’ 🤗🤩
your videos mean so much to many of us, thank you for being here... we love you and please never stop uploading
cringe vibes all over the place with this video (not ur reaction, I was feeling the same as u did)
Thank you for doing this song. I gently suggest you skip Born To Die for now.
It hurt watching your reaction to this song. Some of us have been in very ‘unhealthy’ situations like the video shows. I believe you’re not judging, but I can’t help but feel like you are.
I’m grossed out bc I myself have been in unhealthy situations too and I have a very wounded view of older men. I’m so sorry I made you feel that way. It isn’t judgement, it’s complex 🤍
Sin dudas por el asunto del tocado se la culpa a ella por ser la estrella, pero había cientos de personas con más experiencia y conocimiento alrededor produciendo el video y nadie se dió cuenta? Todos son responsables y como siempre ella es la que termina perdiendo el fruto de su trabajo, como en SNL que fue destratada como nadie, y en los Grammy que se lo niegan sistemáticamente. Estoy contra el racismo pero la cancelación y la persecución y la sobreactuación progre y woke ya hartan.
I think the therapist needs therapy 😂
I haven’t heard this song before but “born to be the other woman” hit me so gd hard. I have literally said these words recently (not word for word but the same concept) but more as a I have never been the one they want to “bring home to mom”, and less about being with a married man because that’s not my story. But being seen as belonging to nobody but wanted by many is a real thought or emotion that I struggle feeling about myself.
as a white woman, why are you speaking on behalf of Native Americans? I remember when people were mad about it, and it was all white people.
Your videos are amazing! Thank you for sharing a different perspective on these songs & I think you’re really good at what you do. I would love to see your reaction to Side Effects by Mariah Carey! It is a pretty sad song but very real
Mere, the fact that you were so quickly able to piece that bit together at 4:14 goes to show how brilliant you are in your career! For obvious reasons as you can imagine, the monologue in this music video and the lyrics of the song makes it an absolute favourite among Lana fans (and there’s many many of us lol) who suffer from BPD. While we’ve all speculated if Lana too is a sufferer, this song reads like it was practically written for us in how it captures our emotional dysregulation. :(
HELPPP!! MORE MV REACTIONS PLSSSS!!! I luv this 😭
You might as well do Tropico. It’s basically a small movie with 3 videos mushed togather
I think tropico might be too much for her to handle...
I found the video to be about a woman looking for a core replacement , no inner core to create her own inner balance and strengths. She relies on others to take care of her insecurities , instead of her getting them solved through the hard work of therapy. The men are a background scene for her to work out her problems . None of the men are young and attractive, I take this as she is using them for what she thinks is survival , nothing more than survival and in her mind to heal wounds.
you should react to "hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have, but i have", idk if you alredy did
she has
